The entire incident was caught on camera, inciting an uproar from fans.

And while originally the video was perceived as Star Wars fans flocking their beloved Luke Skywalker, it turns out they were just money-hungry online sellers looking to profit from an iconic moment.

...which only outraged fans more.

Hamill himself even retweeted the video, adding the hashtag #TheDownsideOfCelebrity.

Others on social media also expressed their disgust.






Several also praised Hamill for his composure and expressed their dismay he had to endure that madness during such a somber time.



This truly is disgusting and heartbreaking.

Hopefully Hamill was still able to reflect on the celebration of the day.
